An emotional Andrew Bolt has teared up as he reflected on the death of Melbourne teenager Bianca Jones following a mass methanol poisoning incident in South East Asia.
Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt has delivered a powerful message as he was overcome with emotion live on air while reflecting on the tragic death of a Melbourne teen from methanol poisoning.
A British woman became the fifth to lose her life in the poisoning incident. The other victims include two Danish women and a US citizen.

"These girls were so fully alive and so free and taking every bit of joy there is in that moment - how could we take that from them or any other children? Is that how we teach our young to live? 'Children always be careful, children trust no one, don't risk anything'."So tonight I pray, for the parents of Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles," he added, as he choked back tears.
"We want to at least try to relieve these families of the financial burden of what they're going to have to go through, and what they are actually going through. So in a day or so, we'll definitely have a gofundme page set up for both girls," he said on First Edition.
